"great at avoidance ... still avoids everything just not as efficient as the ecovacs"
"my Ecovacs with lidar cruised through our open floorplan house and made the map in under 10 minutes ... the Ecovacs doesn't continuously override the map and add or delete rooms, move the base station to think it's *inside* the wall, or do any of the other idiocy that Roomba keeps doing"
"and suck up cords."

"It gives up quickly and does not map well. ... For example, first time out, it was unable to leave the kitchen. ... So it mapped the kitchen and a space outside the kitchen that it could see was called a room. But it was only able to see 30% of the actual room. ... It did not update the map as the dreame would each run. ... Sent out for a remap. Got the center room and failed to get the hallway that did not have a threshold to cross, got 20% of another room it could't get in and didn't place a wall where there was a wall."
"It had a hard time with the thresholds. ... Did not make it over established ramps that the Roomba's (2 different) and the Dreame made without a problem. ... This resulted in a bad map. ... Once the room showed on a map, you could send it to that room and it would jump the threshold 2 out of 3 times. But it had only looked through the door and saw half the room. So it would either mop/vac half the room or get lost when it got to the section it had not mapped. ... It did not update the maps as it went. So it was not possible to get a 'good' map. ... It had trouble with all but one of the thresholds. ... My thresholds are all 3/4" or higher. At least one is a full inch or better. T30 AI is rated to 20mm which is just over 3/4 of an inch."
"The ecovacs has pretty bad obstacle avoidance too but this is mainly due to a lack of an LED fill light and poor firmware."

"Doesn’t work for me. I have a husky so a bit of dog hair and it struggles. ... It goes around it as if it’s an obstruction. ... It then gets trapped in the roller. ... There’s no cutting mechanism so it blocks up quickly and the vacuum isn’t powerful enough to suck it into its storage area. ... I’m not talking about a big clunk of hair either."

"It's all stuff I can work around but I wouldn't suggest them to my folks, family and friends unless I was directly involved in troubleshooting and analysing some weird behaviors."
I also have a t30. And for the most part I’m happy. I’m just a bit frustrated since sometimes I notice streaks on my floors after a couple of weeks. I’ve changed the amount of water distributed but it hasn’t made a difference. I replace the mops once a week and wash the old ones and usually look brand new when I take them out. So that’s my main issue. My floor is also terrible that you literally just look at it then it gets dirty.
r/RobotVacuums • Dreame is a scam ->We’ve had ecovacs t30 combo for six months, no issues so far
r/RobotVacuums • Dreame is a scam ->Streaks? My tiles are extremely hard to keep clean, most detergents leave streaks, glad to say this one doesn’t, we haven’t changed the mops yet either and I use the mop and vac function almost everyday, when I first bought it it used to leave drops of water behind, that hasn’t happened in a while though
r/RobotVacuums • Dreame is a scam ->I got the ecovacs t30 combo in may and honestly it’s the most important member of the household to me, it has what’s most impressive to me: spinning mops, hot water cleaning and auto empty, the app is easy to use and so is the voice command, I’d recommend it to anyone
r/RobotVacuums • Must-have feature for a robot vacuum? ->We started with one iRobot, it worked great! Later decided on a brava (iRobot mop) and it worked amazingly! I was in my doctorate program and didn’t have time to clean the floors. We have two small dogs and five children. The floors are one thing I don’t have to worry about anymore. We recently moved and purchased two combo vacuum and mop, one is iRobot and the other is ecovacs. I like the ecovac more, it seems smarter, however they both do a great job. We have three stories so there are robot vacuum on each floor, they run every day, this keeps the stairs pretty clean and I vacuum the stairs once a week. Our original robot is eight years old and runs fine with daily use.
r/homeowners • Are robot vacuums worth it? I’ve got 4 small kids and I’m always sweeping up the kitchen. Now I have a crawling baby so I’m thinking about getting a robot vacuum, preferably the mop/vacuum kind but they are so expensive! Curious if they are worth it and an investment. ->Yeah, more expensive ones might be better, but that doesn’t mean we all need to spend so much. I got my ecovacs t30s for around 500 bucks, and I use it to vacuum my rugs and mop the hardwood floors. I just do a few things after using it, like refilling the water tank, changing the dust bag every month or two.
r/RobotVacuums • First time buying a robot vacuum, recommendations needed ->I got an ecovacs t30 and it definitely did a good job on keeping my floor clean, no hair tangle issue so far. Imo auto emptying and auto mop washing is a must, and it's quite enough for daily cleaning routine. But if you have low furniture clearance, then ecovacs t50 pro might be a better alternative.
r/RobotVacuums • Bot recommendations for a small apartment? (Dog hair) ->I have one. Its pointless. Ended up buying an expensive T30S Combo for a good deal on black friday.
r/RobotVacuums • Hi everyone, I wanted to get my sister a robot vacuum. Amazon has a lot of sales going on. Wondering if anyone has favorite brands OR brands to stay away from? ->It’s great so far! Suction is amazing
r/RobotVacuums • Hi everyone, I wanted to get my sister a robot vacuum. Amazon has a lot of sales going on. Wondering if anyone has favorite brands OR brands to stay away from? ->We have deeboot t30 Omni and two malting collies, it is a beast and does the mopping for the 3 minutes the house is hair free too
r/RobotVacuums • What robovac would be best for 3 long haired dogs? ->Just to say, we bought an ecovac t30 omni but had to return it within a month of purchasing. After returning it to Good guys, they then revealed to us that they are the most returned brand of robo vacs so... my suggestion, stay away from ecovacs. Their instructions, and troubleshooting is not very clear / helpful either.
r/RobotVacuums • what is the best robot vacuum now? ->Don’t by the T30. Awful. Also customer services with ecovac is awful.
r/ecovacs • Which Ecovacs model do you think is the best among all? ->Doesn’t work for me. I have a husky so a bit of dog hair and it struggles. It goes around it as if it’s an obstruction. Ecovacs answer was to turn off the radar which I did. It then gets trapped in the roller. There’s no cutting mechanism so it blocks up quickly and the vacuum isn’t powerful enough to suck it into its storage area. Pretty disappointed. I’m not talking about a big clunk of hair either.
r/ecovacs • Which Ecovacs model do you think is the best among all? ->How long did you have the t30 for as they wouldn’t accept mine back when I listed similar issues?
r/ecovacs • T30 or T50, which one would be a better choice? ->It’s mostly hardwood in my place, but about 60% of the floor is covered with rugs. I’m using a deebot t30s to handle the cleaning, and I hardly have issues with the dustbin getting stuck. In fact, I haven’t really needed to clean the dustbin inside the robot much; I mostly just change the dust bag at the dock.
r/RobotVacuums • Looking for a robot vacuum/mop that is excellent on carpet. ->I love our Deebot Omni . Highly recommend and definitely get my money’s worth. Don’t buy a cheap one, that will not help you get your money’s worth.
r/Frugal • Is it worth paying more for a robot vacuum if it makes cleaning easier? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
